In a moment of consciousness All of one’s historical information ( biological and social ), bodily sensation, and environmental information is integrated to a point, and life is no more than a procession of such points. So, what is this information, that we are entirely enmeshed in? — Pop

an object does not have information; an interaction does have information. — Daniel
Information is stored in this feedback loop. — Daniel
Clearly it's the currently unassailable missing dimension which directs the stuff of existence; of which we can certainly discuss; if we choose to. — Cheshire
How is this question - entierly sans information - different? What is "information" doing in that paragraph? — Banno
Everything that exists, exists as a body of evolving information, integrating more and more information into itself, and it all has its source in the distinction of one pattern against another, and through a process of placing every pattern into its rightful place to create an integrated whole pattern, a big picture consciousness emerges. — Pop
I would have said everything is information, rather then nothing. — Pop
The simplest is what we call data. The origin of data is information. It's what differentiates something from empty space upon experience. I think people are a type of animal that have the capacity to reflect this "thing" and it takes the form of a metaphysical object that itself can be manipulated. We can record or imagine data.I feel similarly. It is the primal stuff, as a co-element of any stuff. But it is so hard to pin down. If you have a simple definition I would be interested to hear it? — Pop
Information is stored in this feedback loop. — Daniel
Hylomorphism: matter and form are codependent while constituting information. Form as the relationship between particulars is not exclusively responsible for function. — Enrique
Patterns are eternal — hope
The black hole information paradox is where my interest in it started. — frank
a black hole a paradox?
In Hawking's original formulation of his radiation process, that radiation carried no information away with it. But as the black hole emits radiation, it evaporates, eventually disappearing altogether — hence the so-called black hole information paradox. - Google.
What are your thougts? — Pop
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
